Based on the result of the evaluation, this site is complied with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations and no further action is required. The information in this compliance document was prepared by Telnet Inc (Telnet), an approved Verizon vendor. The FCC has established safety rules relating to potential RF exposure from cell sites. The rules are codified at 47 C.F.R § 1.1310. The FCC provides guidance on how to ensure compliance with its rules in the FCC Office of Engineering and Technology Bulletin 65 (available at https://transition.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/Documents/bulletins/oet65/oet65.pdf). The FCC developed the RF standards, known as Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits, in consultation with numerous other federal agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The OSHA provides information on its standards regarding RF on its website at https://www.osha.gov/radiofrequency-and- microwave-radiation/standards. Questions related to compliance with federal regulations should be directed to VZWRFCompliance@verizonwireless.com. 3 | P a g e Introduction Verizon is proposing to add RF transmitting technology at 10800 Torre Ave., Cupertino, CA 95014. Verizon is licensed by the FCC to provide wireless communications services. As required by the FCC, wireless system operators must perform an assessment of the potential human exposure to RF emissions emanating from transmitting antennas at the site. Telnet was hired by Verizon to perform the required RF emission study of the RF environment surrounding the facilities installed by Verizon at this location. Verizon’s RF exposure policy complies with FCC and OSHA requirements. FCC Limits for MPE Verizon’s telecommunications equipment and networks comply with FCC RF safety standards. Those standards were adopted after examining the RF research that scientists in the US and around the world have conducted for decades. The research continues to this day, and agencies continue to monitor it. Based on that research, federal agencies have concluded that equipment and networks that comply with the safety standards pose no known health risks. Different perimeters (limits) apply for occupational and public exposure conditions. Public exposure limits generally are five times more restrictive than occupational exposure limits. These limits apply for perpetual exposures and are intended to provide a cautious margin of safety for all persons, regardless of age, gender, size, or health. The FCC provides information regarding RF safety in its RF Safety FAQ, available at https://www.fcc.gov/engineering- technology/electromagnetic-compatibility-division/radio-frequency-safety/faq/rf-safety. The FCC exposure limits of undefined duration to radio frequency energy for the following personal wireless services: Personal Wireless Service Approx. Frequency Occupational Limit Public Limit Personal Communication (“PCS”) 1950 MHz 5.00 mW/cm2 1.00 mW/cm2 Cellular Telephone 870 MHz 2.90 mW/cm2 0.58 mW/cm2 Specialized Mobile Radio 855 MHz 2.85 mW/cm2 0.57 mW/cm2 4 | P a g e ❖ At this location there are 9 Verizon antennas are operating.

Obstructions (trees, buildings, etc.) that would normally attenuate the signal are not taken into account. As a result, the predicted signal levels are more conservative (higher) than the actual signal levels will be. The results of the modeling calculations are all based on “worst case” assumptions, which means that the actual power density level might be lower. If power density measurements were to be made at this site at any time, Telnet believes the real-time measurements would produce levels below those shown in this report. Modeling in this way produces conservative exclusion areas (areas not to be entered without some sort of mitigation, such as wearing a personal RF monitor, having the carrier reduce power, or undertaking real-time measurements to show real-time exposure levels). The maximum cumulative MPE is calculated to be 3465.82% of the occupational exposure limit at antenna level, 6133.63% of the occupational exposure limit at elevation view level, below 20% of the occupational exposure limit in street-light, cables levels and 23.18% of the general population limit on the ground level (power density at ground level is 0.02326 mW/cm2). Readings are generated through simulations which are based on proposed site.
